Hi I`m having problems getting my potato tree to bloom,it flowered the first year but not the last 3 years,same with my calla lilys.thanks uki

HI your plants might need fertilizing to get them to bloom.try some 5-30-5 fertilizer on them this is a good one to produce more blooms.you can get this at the farmers supply stores or sourthern states farmers cooperative.it comes in 20 or 30 lb bags.it can be used on all plants that bloom.there other organtic ways also like a good composted manure mix.i am sure you will get more advice from some of our organic gardeners in here.hope this helps.your friend in gardening.mike57

Welcome to the forum, uki! I just wanted to give you a "hello", can't give you any advice.

I would love to see pictures of your potato tree when you can get one. I have never heard of one, much less seen one!
